Bellissima is my name, and beautiful I am!
I am a Mistassini beauty, and I certainly live up to my name. Unfortunately, my arrival came with a bit of a bump in the road – literally! I was hit by a car and suffered a broken pelvis. But don't feel too sorry for me. I'm a trooper and recovering nicely!
I still have a little recuperating to do. My exercise needs to be restricted for another couple of weeks, followed by a few more weeks of very mild activity. In other words, this young Lab has temporarily been put on the sidelines. Not exactly my idea of fun, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could continue my recovery in a loving home?
Now, keeping an adolescent Lab entertained without letting her burn off energy is no small feat. My new family will have to get creative! Puzzle toys, stuffed Kongs, nose work, scent games and some fun indoor tricks are all great ways to keep my mind busy while my body takes a much-needed break. The internet is full of ideas, so I'm sure we can come up with a few. Just remember, for now, exercise restrictions are not negotiable!
Once I am fully healed, my walks can gradually get longer, and eventually I can return to normal Lab activities. And who knows? By next summer, I may even be enjoying a good swim. Now that's something to look forward to!
I get along with other dogs, but my recuperation means no roughhousing for the time being. That's not always easy to enforce when two young dogs live under the same roof! For now, I would do best as your one-and-only or with a very calm, older canine companion. Cats, however, may not be the best fit.
I'm a deserving young girl with a bright future ahead of me. All I need is a family with the time, patience and commitment to help me through the final stretch of my recovery. In return, you'll have a beautiful Lab ready to share all the adventures that lie ahead.
If you think we might be a good match, please fill out an application. I promise, my best days are still ahead of me!
